Chappell Roan Is Ready to Slay With Her transparent Gown and Sword at the MTV VMAs
Chappell Roan came fully prepared to slay at this evening’s MTV VMAs, bringing a literal sword with her. The singer, who is attending her first MTV VMAs tonight, wore a transparent maxi dress with a cloak on the carpet. She was handed her weapon by her own knight while posing for photos.
She’ll be performing later in the night.
The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer is nominated for four awards, including Best New Artist.
Roan’s “Hot To Go” is in the running for Best Trending Video, and “Good Luck, Babe!” is up for Song of the Summer. Meanwhile, “Red Wine Supernova” is on the shortlist for MTV Push Performance of the Year.
Roan has had a year that many describe as “meteoric.” She recently told Rolling Stone that in June, post-Gov Ball performance, “I was getting almost a hundred thousand followers a day. At first, I was in severe denial. They would literally show me some stats and the only thing I could do is say, ‘No, no, no. It’s not like that.’ I couldn’t say, ‘I am gaining success.’”
“It’s my dream job,” she added. “I never know if it’s going to be like this ever again, which is kind of scary.”
She also revealed to the publication that she and songwriter Daniel Nigro have already been working on a new album: “We have a country song. We have a dancy song. We have one that’s really eighties, and we have one that’s acoustic, and we have one that’s really organic, live-band, seventies vibe. It’s super weird.”
On the pressure to top “Good Luck, Babe!” with another smash hit, she said, “[The next single] needs to have more grit, whether that means more pop grit or rock grit or just bite to the lyrics. Anything that I listen to—Joan Jett, Heart, Gaga—I want to feel like them. So I’ll just be inspired by that feeling and how I can capture it.”
